As we age, our skin changes in ways that can make it more prone to disease. That’s because older skin is less oily, less elastic, and thinner. It bruises easily and can take a long time to heal when cut. Few geriatric dermatological problems are xerosis, pruritus, nutritional deficiencies, decubitus ulcers, bullous pemphigoid, infections, tumours, alopecia, photosensitivity disorders, paraneoplastic syndromes, and erythroderma. Many of the diseases are localized to the skin, but illnesses originating in other organ systems are often made manifest on the skin. A thorough history, physical examination and laboratory testing work-up is necessary to find the underlying treatable cause.
